Closed Air GPU mining rigs?

[zer0k]

The roswill server case with drop in bracket keeps 6 cool for around $160.

Are you referring to the Rosewill RSV-L4500?
What is the drop in bracket mentioned?

I would be curious to see how a case like the Thermaltake Supressor would do in regards to noise reduction. If you had 3 blower style GPUs with a space between them, and good quality case fans, I think the cooling aspect would be good. You would probably want to leave the front door open for best airflow. It's a reasonable price ($95) for a full atx tower with sound reduction built in.

my nxzt h2 is a "silent" case, also with a front door and sound deadening panels.

they do reduce sound but not by much. please dont think they will solve all your noise problems.

Very interested in this also.

Need a case to help control the dust issues mainly.

How do you work around putting in those huge power supplies, like in the 1600W range?

That's going to be too much if you are going 1600w of heat in a case you'll have trouble.

What would be the max, like 750W?

That's more like it with a standard case, can power 3 480s and have a decent number of fans pushing out of the fan.

Question - Server PSU for powering GPUs:

Doable or not in a closed case?

Open Air frame cases all the way here... My solution was to get my wife interested in mining.  She's practical enough to recognize the money potential and she knew she was marrying a geek many years ago. We now even have a rig mining next to our bed....  


I do have a full tower case for my main PC that has a pair of GTX 1080 Ti's in it (one of which mines around the clock). I would not want to put more then that in it unless you have a very large EATX tower. I tried that route back in the early days of Bitcoin mining on GPUs and it was a constant battle with heat.

I have one mining next to my bed. It has 6 R9 390, under volt and consume 1020W. Very quite.
